Outdoor Skating



Dropped by Roppongi Hills over the weekend and wasn't really too impressed with what it had to offer. Sure the mall was pretty structurally impressive but I definitely think the place is overhyped. Maybe because it's for the designer shops and brands but that doesn't really make my milk moo. The point of interest I found to be the most amusing was the outdoor skating rink just outside the Asahi TV station.


I'll admit I was definitely tempted to hop over the barrier and give it a whirl, but given that I haven't skated for like 4 years I wasn't ready to induce pain to myself and cause other multiple accidents with the innocent children within the confined quarters. The fact that the ice surface also looked like sand in a park was also a little discouraging. Finally, everyone intelligent knows that rollerblading is the only way to go. (Not that I have my rollerblades here though.. dammit >_<)
